In a world increasingly shaped by connectivity and communication, being part of the dialogue is more important than ever. But for those experiencing hearing loss, even a simple phone conversation can be challenging, leading to feelings of isolation and frustration.
This is where CaptionCall comes in. This technology can transform telephone communication for the hard of hearing and bridge gaps in communication.
What is CaptionCall?
CaptionCall is a telephone service that provides real-time captions of what the caller on the other end is saying.
